Organizers say the best part of this event is that it is not funded by the city. Rather, it's the people in the community who fuel the fun.

"We have a core of sponsors that help us out year to year but we are always picking up new folks," said Terry Zeller, superintendent of Mishawaka Parks and Recreation. "Everyone seems to want to pitch in when they know it's a community based event and it's for the good of the people of Mishawaka."

Summerfest ends Saturday night after a concert from the group Hotel California.
